So again someone please help!!!
I would suggest downgrading to hboot 1.49.0007 (and then use revolutionary for s-off). With that you shouldn't have any problems flashing ROMs. I am currently using the 1.49.0007 hboot and I haven't got a single issue flashing Roms
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM
I suggest 1.49.0007. Before downgrade from 1.53.0007 i had boot loop issue too.
Yeah easier said than done!
Every tutorial i checked want me to download something, but i can't every thing is out dated s**t
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
have you tried this?
i read it and i get so confused plus that wire trick it scares me! The whole tutorial is scary, so man methods
i think i will have to give it a try.
Unfortunately the wire trick is your only option of downgrading hboot. It isn't that difficult actually. Just make sure you follow the instructions to the letter
did i mention that i can not get in to system as a am stuck with booting up?!
ControlBear.exe just say press enter to exit so i am guessing that the phone need to be turned on for ControlBear.exe to work?!?

I am starting to think that the best way to fix my phone would be the so called Hammer_way! They say it's one hit fix
Here is step by step instructions http: //unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm
4. Turn ON USB Debugging on your device (Settings > Developer Options)
5. Verify fast boot is turned OFF (Usually found under Power Settings)
6. Connect your device and set to "Charge Only"
I simply can not do that i am stuck in boot loop!

If you can access to recovery, then you can flash stock or another ROM.
Then set USB Debugging and repeat unlock.

You have to manually flash boot.img via fastboot.
i made it!! i managed to install stock original ICS RUU from OTA and i successfully did S-OFF!! Yuuuhuu
Now what? i am stil on HBOOT 1-53.777
I have the same problem before i find a good Rom for 1.53.0007. And i cant downgrade to 1.49.0007...
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
why would i want 1.49.0007?
My phone is now working normally with venom viper ROM, on HBOOT 1-53.777 S-OFF
If you satisfied with venom viper ROM then you dont need downgrade. But with 1.49.0007 you can flash more ROMs.

I am in a bit of trouble. I have rooted it and I was running the Olympus Trinity Titan XE ROM and my phone went into a random reboot process. I don't know what I did but it proceeded to then be stuck in a boot loop. I have tried several different methods to try and get into recovery.
I have tried just doing the VOL UP+POWER button to recovery process and it gives me a boot loop.
I have tried doing it from my Mac using the terminal to run fastboot and got another boot loop.
Finally I have tried using the PC86img.zip method. It recognizes the file, then it loads it (evident from the progress bar), and then it doesn't do anything with it.
If I plug it in, it flashes the red LED and keeps flashing it on and off and starts heating up.
I can't turn it on, I can't get into recovery, I can't do anything with it. I'm at my ropes end. Normally I would do this on my own but I have chosen to turn to the wiser than me community of XDA. Please HELP!!!
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Press and hold the volume down button and keep it pressed down. Then press and release or tap the power button on top of the phone to get into recovery. Also the zip should be PG86IMG.zip. I noticed in your post it was.different. I don't know if it was a typo so I just thought I would post it. And if your using fast boot to get into recovery I believe the command is
fastboot boot C:\cwm-recovery.img or replace "cwm-recovery" with the name of your recovery.
Also you could this

I have tried this. Turns out my battery died so now I have to wait for an external battery charger so that I can charge it. My phone refuses to charge it. I have decided to try and re-lock it and try to flash the RUU. I have to wait a bit tho cuz of the wait on the charger.
And yes it was a typo thanks for pointing it out.
As for the fastboot since I'm using a Mac it should look more like:
./fastboot-mac boot (recoveryname).img if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for the reply!
I'll take a look into the link.
Not all recoveries work on hboot 1.50 . I got only two working
First boot in bootloader by pressing volume down+power button, then select fastboot and flash this recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?n72emuv5a1c00sd
after flashing recovery , flash a boot.img from the ROM you want to use from fastboot (sorry dont know mac commands)
And then just follow the steps from step no 6 from the link given below.
You should flash the same ROM(MIUI is used in post below) from which you have flashed the boot.img above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19967637&postcount=16
necessary file are attached in the post and you should put them on SD card
If the above recovery wont boot ....try the recovery from this post

Hi!
I got a boot loop. I flashed my GSM Evo with CDMA rom by mistake and now i'm in trouble. I can boot Leedroid rom via PC fastboot utility and use phone until next reboot, but I can't flash it with any rom.
I have tried even stock roms, but with no result. Tried to flash via CWM, renamed rom to PG86IMG.zip but no result.
I have CWM 4.0.1.4 installed.
HBOOT-1.49.0018
S-ON
Is there any possibility to wake up my Evo?
OK, I solved that problem. The issue was in S-ON. After u install ROM zip you have to flash boot.img of current rom via adb.
hi all
Forgot to charge my EVO 3D (CDMA) and battery completely drained. Even after using another fully charged battery my phone goes to bootloop - just shows the HTC logo and reboots again and again. Here is what I have:
hboot : 1.5 (S-ON)
radio : 1.06.00.1216
ota : 2_17.651_5
(I am using this phone in India activated on Reliance)
As the phone doesn't boot I can't access it thru adb to give command 'adb reboot bootloader'
I can get bootloader by pressing vol_down+power
When I run the 2_17.651_5 RUU (exe) from my computer while phone is on fastboot, it completes successfully without errors. But still on reboot it just stays at the htc screen and reboots (guess it's becoz stock kernel not getting flashed as the phone is s-on)
kindly help to get back my phone boot again
thanks and regards

Don't listen to the previous guy. Try using fastboot OEM lock and then ruuing. Or, try getting freezas stock kernel and extracting the boot.IMG and flashing it thru fastboot. Or, you could use fastboot flash recover recovery.IMG to get twrp or clockworkmod and do a superwipe and try flashing a new Rom. There are tons of options if you still have fastboot.

Thanx for responding. As I mentioned earlier,I have already relocked and RUU'd the exe file,but though it runs without errors doesn't solve problem. Again as it is s-on doesn't permit to flash boot.img. Though I am able to flash twrp recovery, not able to get into recovery from fastboot. Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

You don't need to relock once you unlock the HTC way. Just unlock the phone then flash via fastboot the boot.img and then ruu if you want.

thanks. extracted boot.img from freeza's kernel and flashed from fastboot after unlocking. But still doesnt solve problem. Can you give me a link for boot.img
Pleassssssse HELP !!!!!!
I have the exactly the same problem, a full reboot result in boot loop, and can not fix it by now.
I guest the phone is rooted before OTA, so OTA can not flash kernel successfully because the wrong signature, and the phone will not boot because the wrong kernel.
I have tried ruu, fastboot boot recovery.img and etc, all failed.
The key point is that, the phone is rooted and you tried OTA. HTC OTA must have a stupid bug, it can not recovery from a partial update, or automatically roll back becasuse of the partial update, dem!
Please have a look at the guide/flashing notes in my signature. If u r unlocked u are likely not entering recovery correctly.
If u are trying to flash the Ruu u have to be locked or relocked. If u cant boot to android, run the xhausx's full Ruu zip from bootloader.

1) flashed RUU (exe) after relocking - flash completed without errors
2) ran xhausx's full RUU zip (PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip) from bootloader (could get into bootloader by pressing volum_up + power button. adb cannot connect to phone (as phone does not boot), to run 'adb rebooot bootloader')
But still doesn't solve problem and phone keeps rebooting, apparently kernel has not flashed properly.

You need to use the RUU 2.17 exe after you relock your phone... Then flash a copy of CWM or TWRP on it..
Then adb
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wipe and flash whatever you want
Just noticed u said India & carrier is reliance. Why would u be using a Sprint USA CDMA Ruu? Shouldn't u be using a GSM RUU version?

Yeah , as I mentioned earlier, I also tried using the RUU 2.17 exe after relocking (RUU completed successfully without errors) , and flashed twrp recovery from fastboot . But still it's a no go.
(Again would like to repeat that I can't boot into bootloader from adb - adb cannot connect as phone doesn't android boot. I get into fastboot by pressing vol_down + power)
thanks all for your responses and help, hope you all will continue guiding me till I get this done.

Have you tried to just run the RUU like you said boot turn debug on .... Then go to hboot flash your recovery...
Then fastboot boot recovery.img.
This should work I have unrooted my phone 3 times already in the past month Trial and Error on my part adb always found my phone...
I am tryin to figure out what is going wrong on the last part with TWRP...
Since you said after you do that it was a no go? What happend ? Adb should still be working since you just flashed the recovery...
Anyways I hope you get it solved man I am tryin to figure this problem out.
Do you have a rom already ready to be flashed on your SD card?
Problem is, since i’m not able to android boot I can't reboot bootloader from adb, as I can't connect adb without the phone normal booting. When I boot it just stays at the HTC white screen.
I have flashed twrp recovery from fastboot, but when I give command 'fastboot boot <twrpxxxxx>.img it just boots back to the HTC splash screen
You can go back to complete stock if you rename the RUU file PG86IMG.zip and load onto the root of sd card. Get into bootloader with [power+volume down] and it will automatically detect and load the zip file. This can only be done if you are relocked. I did this in order to get the latest update. After you get back to stock you can unlock and root again.

As I mentioned in earlier post, have tried flashing PG86IMG.zip from bootloader, but still phone doesn't boot properly and is in a bootloop.
You've used the following file and done these exact steps and allowed the phone to boot to full stock OS? (assuming 2.17.651.5 is correct version)
OPTION 2 - RUU.zip info:
I prefer the .exe version but xHausx’s “FULL” PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip may work for you (must be renamed PG86IMG.zip). Make sure you have plenty of battery/charge left!
- (XDA) Xhausx full PG86IMG.zip RUU images (651.5 zips)

**THIS WILL RETURN YOU TO FRESH OUT OF THE BOX**
You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
1.Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: and rename it "PG86IMG.zip"
2.Copy it to SD Card
3.Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power.
Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
4.In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
5.Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
6.Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.

I have tried searching all the forums and can't seem to get or understand the answer. I had my evo 3d unlocked using the htc method and last night used the wire trick to obtain s-off. It worked first try and up I am now s-off but stuck in a boot loop. It turns on says HTC and then reboots and does the same thing over and over. I use the volume and power button and I am able to get into fast boot and see the following:

I have tried to install my nandroid backup with no success. When I first load hboot it flashes messages about pg86img but too fast to read the whole message.

Yes I can get into recovery without a problem. I just can't figure out what rom to flash and exactly how to do it? I know this is probably very simple but I'm lost and can't seem to figure out how to flash a rom. I was told if I flash a gsm one by mistake I could brick my phone so I'm looking for any tutorials I can find. Thanks for your quick response.

I will try and write you a little tutorial real quick, ok the rom that I would flash this one, chubbzlou sense 4 rom which you can download here and you will need to flash a good recovery, I would recommend team wins recovery you can download that here and the easiest way to flash that recovery image would be to rename it to "recovery.img" without the quotes obviously and put it in your adb folder ya know with your fastboot.exe and your adb files, and then boot into your boot loader select fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it will say like "sending recovery, successfully written recovery" then power off your device and boot back in to the bootloader, then select recovery and it will boot into team wins amazing recovery, then what you need to do is also download a super wipe from here and basically once you are booted into recovery select mount and then "mount usb storage" make sure you have your usb cable connected to your phone at this point and then your computer will recognize your phone and then move the rom and the super wipe onto your phone, next step after the rom and super wipe have fully transferred then unmount it from your pc and then click "install" in the team win recovery, then select the superwipe zip and then you will have the option to add another zip, select the sense4 rom zip and then do the swipe to flash, they will both finish after a bit and then reboot your device and you will be good to go, hopefully I helped
Has anyone seen Negalite Bluerom R122 or higher for download?
What is the link?
thanks hossman; I fixed my phone by flashing a rom from hboot 1.57.5757 with 4EXT which works great
The 1.50.5050 should work
Put the ROM.zip on your SD
Make a backup through 4ext first
Wipe all except SD card
Reboot recovery
Wipe again
Flash ROM
Reboot phone
Should boot fine

Hello everybody.
Before posting this thread I have read lots of similar threads, but no answer...
My evo was running fine on Mwakious3D rom v.15.3, I was s-off, 4ext recovery, Hboot 1.49.1107, kernel coolexe (integrated in Mwakious rom).
Yesterday night I had network connection problems, so I tried to switch from GSM only to GSM/CDMA auto and back.
My device freezed and I could not get back it responding, so I pulled the battery out.
Then I put back the battery in and tried to turn it on.
From that moment, when I try to turn it on, it shows the HTC splash screen, then after about 10 seconds it turns off by itself and starts bootlooping.
I tried to enter recovery trough Hboot, but even recovery gets stuck on HTC splash screen and the device gets very very hot, then a bootloop starts. I have to pull the battery out because I fear I can damage it.
So I tried to flash again the boot.img from the rom I was on, through Fastboot in command line. The operation succeeded, but when I tried to reboot, I always got bootloop.
So I tried to fastboot flash a new recovery becaue I thought mine was broken. I tried to flash 4ext, cwm and twrp.
Even this didn't fix the problem: I can't get past HTC splash screen either in normal rebooting nor recovery.
So I tried to flash the P86img.zip contained in this thread at letter E: ht_tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 (sorry, I can't post URLs).
Even after flashing that, no way I can get past the HTC splash.. I can't access recovery, even if I try to boot it from fastboot.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Please help!!!
My configuration at the moment:
Hboot 1.49.0007 s-off
Radio: 10.13.9020.08_2m
Recovery: 4ext
Please, help me as soon as possible, you are my only hope to unbrick my Evo 3D!!!
Another information: I try to access the device also via adb.
It returns me empty devices list.
If I run adb usb, it returns me error:no device connected.
I have the HTC drivers v.3.007 installed. I tried both on XP x86 and W7 x64.
Fastboot instead recognizes the device, so that I can flash *.img.
relock hboot and run an RUU. then flash recovery and rom again.

Thanks a lot... i'm trying in a couple of hours...
I will feedback if it's working.
Bad news dude!!!
I relocked hboot then ran the latest RUU.
Flashing process proceeds well and completes, but after it the phone keeps bootlooping. Always stuck to HTC splash logo.
In the bootloader menu "recovery" is still there. I can't boot into recovery either because I get the usual bootloop.
Any further ideas?
At the moment I am on
Hboot 1.53.0007 relocked s-on
radio -11.25.3504.06_m
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed
when I run adb usb it still responds error: device not found
Now I unlocked back Hboot and succeeded in flashing recovery (4ext).
Anyway that f***ing bootloop is still there... I can't access recovery...damnit:crying:
Take out your sdcard and see if you can boot into recovery, taking a shot in the dark but could be a corrupt sdcard
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
try "fastboot boot recovery.img" in cmd. but the real problem is that running RUU didnt work. are you sure it flashed completely? I'd say run it again
Sorry, friends, I tried both methods without success...always that bootloop after... Even trying fastboot boot recovery.img... I can't get into recovery menu. Only hboot menu... Maybe I could try once again to flash the RUU.exe after relocking bootloader...any better ideas than mine? I'm starting to lose hope...
Hi,
I have nearly the same issue.
i played to much with reroot and unroot.
Now my evo gsm austria is:
shooter_u pvt shp s-off rl
hboot 1.53.0007
radio 10.13.9020.08_2m
eMMC boot
I can access recovery, but it doesn't matter which rom i flash i always have the bootloop. I even flashed different recoveries and the extracted boot,img from the roms (via fastboot). But i'm stuck in the Bootloop.
When i try to flash an RUU as PG86IMG i get the message CID incorrect.
CID is VODAP120
I hope someone has the answer.
thanx michael

I changed my CID now:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__01
moved a non branded pg86img to the root of my sdcard and it ran through
now my phone is back to hboot 1.49.0007
looks good at the moment
i want to get back to full stock, to get original ICS
but i can't get updates, they always fail during the installation . even when i was locked and s-on
It runs again - back to life
So what did i do next.
The official OTA Update to ICS came down!
But wouldn't install
So i extracted the firmware.zip moved to PG86IMG.zip and flashed over the bootloader.(just 24MB - Boot,Bootloader)
It installed rebooted and at the moment a very long black screen, lets see how long

No bootloop, but nothing else too
Next step
extract the rom.zip from "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed"
moved as PG86IMG.zip to root of SDCARD
and flashing over Bootloader
lets wait
---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------
YEAH
Android 4.0.3
Sense 3.6
Software
3.28.401.1
And its running
Still S-OFF and unlocked
with H-BOOT 1.53.0007
Radio 11.25.304.06_M
I hope the 12hrs i invested the last 3 days will repay

Extract the rom zip file and rename it to PG86IMG.zip , put in root of sdcard and flash in bootloader.
I'm running out of ideas here. Running an RUU is a last failsafe method of restoring your phone to stock but that isnt working for you. Maybe try another ruu(the one which was on your phone when you purchased it)
I'm having some issues aswell.
I flashed 4ext because some roms would get stuck on the htc logo screen for half an hour..
Flashed the NonSense rom, worked fine, made a backup of it.
Then i wanted to test Viper's latest rom with sense 4.0, flashed it with 4ext, successful.
I found NonSense better in my opinion so i went to backup, and restored the ROM. After that i couldn't get any further than the htc logo screen.
I switched to clockwork, twrp but no result. I tried even other ROMs but i still can't get pass that cursed splash screen.
And yes, i deleted cache and dalvik etc..
The only thing i haven't tried is getting the stock rom and flashing it to see if it works.
Also, would some of you be kind enough to give me the recovery.img of the latest version of 4ext? I can't find it anywhere, not even on my sd card.
Thanks, looking forward to your answers.
my advice would be to do a clean install of nonsense rom. Wipe data+factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install rom.
btw are you s-off or s-on? be sure to turn on smart flash in case you're s-on.
I've attached 4EXT RC5

Alredy tried also this method... always that bootloop...

I tried... I'm s-on and hboot relocked.
That's what I get:
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
sending 'boot' (4310 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.883s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.466s
Code:
Damnit!!!
you need to unlock bootloader again before flashing boot.img or recovery

done...unlocked, flashed boot_signed.img and tried to boot. Always bootloop.
Then flashed recovery_signed.img and tried to boot... again that f***ed bootloop. Starting to hate HTC splash screen!!!!
do you still get the "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" error? If so theres something wrong here. And do flash a custom recovery like 4EXT. it should then be recovery.img not the signed one
SOLVED
Hey, I have htc evo 3d gsm (shooteru). I unlocked the bootloader using htcdev.com and installed clockworkmod recovery. Then I changed cid to HTC__001 and tried to flash a gingerbread ROM in preparation for using the flashmaniac tool to downgrade my hboot (1.53.0007 -> 1.49.0007).
But when I tried to flash the gb rom the recovery said that installation finished but the phone did nothing after reboot. So I took out the battery and went into bootloader and everything looked the same as before the flash attempt. So I tried once again with same result. Then I powered off the phone and now when I turned it on again it only shows the HTC logo for a few seconds and then nothing (the buttons at the bottom have their lights turned on though).
Any ideas?
Yes, hboot version not compatible with gb rom, and or boot partition didn't get flashed. Unlocked but s-on doesn't let boot partition have write if booted into recovery in a normal way.
So yoy can get boot.img from install zip and flash with fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or you can reinstall from recovery if booted from fastboot command.

Somehow got it at least to bootloader, no idea how, just tried taking out battery a few times and charging it a bit and it worked.
Thanks for the advice, didn't realize there was a difference between these flashing methods.

Power + volume down when turning on will get you into bootloader

I know , it just didn't work for some reason before.
So I flashed the boot.img and now it's stuck in a boot loop. Tried going to cwm recovery and wiping various caches etc and flashing again, and flashing boot.img again but it still goes into boot loop.
I would just use the flashmaniac's tool anyway because I don't care about any data on the phone or anything, but it seems that it requires the phone to be booted before it can start the downgrade.
What should I do? Try to flash other roms maybe? The one that I have now is EU_Shooter_U-1.20.401.8_ROOTED.
So I extracted a rom.zip from a RUU but it won't flash from cwm "Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)", should I try to flash it with adb/fastboot? I'm worried that the zip may be broken (even though archive manager integrity check says its fine).
Would this work with shooteru/GSM?
[TOOL] Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 (Unbrick, Downgrade, VM Radio Fix/Reset)
I'm thinking it might be a way to sidestep the boot loop problem that I have now, just relock the bootloader and follow the instructions until I get HBoot 1.40.something like the guy in the video?
Do I need some special drivers when using the RUU executables on Windows?
So I've got it to work. The problem was what jcfunk said (both of the things he mentioned, actually), I was trying to flash a GB rom when I should have tried an ICS rom instead (lol). After going to ICS RUU, I did the wire trick (unlimited.io) and now everything works nicely and I can get the latest roms.
Glad to hear.
